    Boil ordinary water in a saucepan, put a bowl of chocolate on top. This construction is called a "water bath", so the chocolate will melt in steam from boiling water. An important condition is that the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water. And also, do not take glassware for these purposes. My bowl burst in the process, I had to pour everything into another one.

    Step 10.

    Bake the brownies in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 20-30 minutes. In the case of brownies, readiness is not determined with a toothpick, I advise you to focus on 25 minutes of baking. If it is overexposed in the oven, it will turn out dry. You can serve brownies both warm and completely cooled down. Add a scoop of ice cream to the warm brownie when serving.

I baked brownies in the form of 20 * 22 cm. We really love this dessert, I cook it often according to different recipes. This recipe is one of the most successful.
The taste of the finished dessert is determined primarily by chocolate. Therefore, choose only a good quality product. You can use not only bitter, but also milk chocolate, and even white. Brownies with white chocolate are called "blondie".
Brownies are often baked with the addition of nuts, cream cheese or berries.
